Likely dust on the cap, if it's on the coin just use an air puffer thingy (technical term ).

Now you have your gold Una & Lion in hand - do you think you be holding for the long term or flipping for profit ? @Numistacker

 Brilliant video,  you would think the mint would've taken better care with the packaging...

To be honest, I'd put the problem directly to the Royal Mint. If they sell to your location, they need to accept returns from your location when the item is defective. 

Ask them what shipping service they would like you to use to return to them and ensure they are comfortable covering the cost and any risk of loss in transit. In any event make sure you get proof of postage. 

Thanks for your help !!

x112 watches now, a new bidder has entered the fray 

x4 unique bidders offering £15,000+ bid. 

Current highest bidder £15,850 with feedback score of 4548

I wonder if a few bottomless wallets £££ have got snipe autos-set for the last few seconds in a few days time?

 

[*tada*]

Here comes the graded version. Awe-inspiring coin! The only problem is it's hard to photograph (updated with better lighting)...

Let’s have some fun...

How much do people here think the auction will end at?

Closest here will “win“ the satisfaction of being a good predictor 😅

I think people will stop short of the psychological £20,000 mark, so my guess is £19,975.

[Paul]

I will say £18,600  i think the bidding increments are in £50 or £100 steps

[Sovereign]

wow was going to say £8k 😂

I want to send my silver one to Numi for grading. It's for long-term protection and easier to handle and enjoy.

What do you guys think of special labels on the slab? Preferable to standard? I'm in two minds about this.

[verrachi]

I bet we have alteast 10 people here in the forums that owns the gold una~ 😎

The upsides to slabbing are just as you say The problem is slabs don't protect against milking, and imvho it's far too early to say if the RM have adequately dealt with this problem (if they have at all - has it even been addressed like the Canadian Mint?). They may well have done but kept it 'in house' (i.e. no public admission of previous poor quality). I very much hope this is the case

I don't think this one needs a themed label personally.  - the coin speaks for itself, as it should do. The less gimmicks the better imvho.
